Hello, how can I convert from geohash (example: dj0rtcbpn) to latitude and longitude using Kotlin? What is the best library? Thanks in advance.

The one library I have used is: https://github.com/kungfoo/geohash-java

[baxter]

I have been lazily working on a pure Kotlin library that would work with MPP: https://github.com/pablobaxter/frybits-geohash

Mine isn't quite complete (queries don't work), but creating/converting geohashes is done.

@baxter Thanks for your reply. But there is no any information for getting latitude and longitude from geohash (example: dj0rtcbpn). Like in this site http://geohash.co/

[baxter]

Yea, documentation is lacking, but if you were to use it, you could just do Location.toGeoHash().geohash

You can even pass in a precision, which would give you Location.toGeoHash(precision = 5)

@baxter Sorry, but I can't use a dependency for it😔. Where is the dependency?

[baxter]

Ah, I haven't done that yet. You'd need to use the source for now.
